Village Clerk Now Trustee

Villa Park — Village Clerk Mary Murphy has been appointed a trustee, filling a seat vacated by the resignation in March of James Gleich.

As an appointed official, her term runs through April 1995, when the next general election is held. State law does not allow her to fill the entire term, which would have ended in 1997.

Murphy's name was mentioned immediately after Gleich resigned. Elected clerk in 1993, she is known for her work with village schools, and her appointment was roundly praised by community leaders and village employees who perceive it as a unifying measure.
